    He's probably going to want another fan and louver to move that air a lot faster. I have a larger single fan on a much shorter greenhouse and it really doesn't do what I had expected. If you or he does the math, you'll see what I mean. Sure, it'll help a little, but so much more with more air circulation from outside. LOVE the automated side curtains.

    No, the R value for "air blanket" is not large enough. Check our "soap bubble blanket" idea from Richard Nelson. We have so far produced one we call PyraTENT, allowing any handyperson to build one in backyard.

    Is (inside house) 216 square feet enough space to do a Microgreen business? do you have to wash the greens after harvest, where would I put washing and drying station? and then the walk-in cooler? or should I just build a green house outside and start from there? all these questions are stopping me from even starting it. sorry if this isnt the place to ask this, but everywhere else i have asked get no response. tyia

    I use a system similar to this but it has two other inputs. A timer that you can adjust how often it will check the temperature and respond. The other controls how wide the sides will open or close per check. In Canada, on a real sunny day when it is minus 20 Celsius outside, it could get upwards of 35 Celsius in the greenhouse, so you cannot afford the sides to open wide, and not for long. I think this controller with two motors was around 1500.00 Canadian.

    You really don't need two motors - You can use a metal wire rope on the opposite end to the motor. Screw it to the bottom, then up and around the 'pole' many times so that it can open and close completely - then up to the top and attach. This will keep it straight.

    100% correct. It all comes down to them finding out. I don't know any states that drive around checking compliance for low dollar things like hightunnels. Now, if he signs up for other stuff in the future, the planner SHOULD be checking items still in lifespan and if they are not in place or being used according to rules, he would be ineligible for signing up that year, and possibly longer.
